Background: Two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) may detect early changes in cardiac mechanics in patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). We aimed to evaluate whether changes in strain or strain rate, as measured by 2D-STE, precede a decrease in LVEF in patients with lymphoma undergoing anthracycline-based chemotherapy (AC).

Methods: We studied patients with lymphoma who und... view more»
